In addition to fever, new and persistent cough and loss of taste or smell, the recognised symptoms now include headache, breathlessness, fatigue or exhaustion, body aches, sore throat, stuffy nose or runny nose, loss of appetite, diarrhoea and vomiting or tendency to vomit.

Cases reported today and including over the weekend were just over 143,000.
